Try

find . | grep ".txt" | xargs -I script.sh {}

find returns all files in the directory. grep selects only .txt files and xargs sends the file as Parameter to script.sh

Use the -exec option to find:

find /usr/share/wordlists/*/* -type f -name '*.txt' -exec yourScript {} \;

You can use find:

find /path -type f -name "*.txt" | while read txt; do
  echo "$txt";   # Do something else
done
